What's new?

31-08-2009: The long awaited pigroast at the Saturday cider shed finally happened..

31-08-2009: Although not as busy as last year, this year's barbecue at Aston sub Edge village club was still a success.

22-08-2009: Have you ever heard of The Lynches? It is the name of the woods we walk through on our way to Chipping Campden. These woods feature on a few pages on this website. Well, there is now somebody living in The Lynches, Ray Mears style (or is it John Rambo?).

24-07-2009: As promised, I have now taken a few pictures of the Saturday Cider Shed. More pictures will be added in due course.

09-07-2009: Finally. I've added a page about the cider shed on Sunday morning. Another page about the Saturday cider shed will follow shortly (I have to take a few more pictures first).

05-07-2009: I've installed a 'comment' script on pages that could benefit from it. From now on visitors are able to leave a quick message about the page they are visiting to make the Aero and Clarkie website more interactive. You can find it at the bottom of most pages. Why don't you have a look and leave a comment?
